All I can say is WOW! Thank you one and all for the very kind words.

Never in my wildest dreams did I even think about winning a National event, not even close. In my fantasy world I thought MAYBE I could someday score at a divisional, but certainly never even gave thought to a national. I'm not sure that it's sunk in even yet.

First and foremost, I've got to thank the Emmons family, they have become the brothers that I never had, and a dad that is truely a car guy. They've offered guidance and support when needed, they've laughed at my lousy jokes, and they've let the "old man" drive all night to get to the race. Besides that they REALLY know how to dial a car.

Secondly, thanks to Lucas Oil and Forrest & Charlotte for not only their support of our team, but for ALL of the support they provide across the board for the entire sportsman ranks. Two great people, and quality products (306 laps on a LT1 motor, and a small nick on a rod journal was the only internal wear/damage?!).

To all the crew guys and gals out of the Pro ranks that offered thier support while we were nearby in the staging lanes, thanks. I miss seeing you all every race weekend, I wish I had had more time to get around to see everyone........ wait a minute, no I don't....... that would have meant I was out, I like this outcome better :-) .

It may have been Jim Hughes and Craig Anderson that dumped the ice chest on me, but I do believe Reinhart had a majority interest in the concept and planning. Big Al, just remember Seattle,,,, it's all I'm going to say........

Sorry I'll miss everyone in Belle Rose this weekend, but I'll be in San Antonio announcing the IHRA race. I'll catch up again with everyone in Dallas for the divisional.

Thanks again everyone!

Stock is WAY COOL, winning is WAY COOLER!
